To develop, implement, and evaluate a co-curricular activity in which second-year Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students developed an idea for a new clinical pharmacy service. A brief co-curricular activity based on the television series was developed to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship. Second-year pharmacy students worked in assigned teams and were allowed one hour to develop an innovative clinical service to solve a pharmacy-related problem. Students then "pitched" their idea to a panel of four faculty members who served as the "sharks" and graded the teams using a rubric. The rubric which was employed was mapped to the Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education (CAPE) Educational Outcomes. A pre- and post-activity survey was administered to students to gather information about changes in their perceptions of innovation and entrepreneurship in pharmacy. Student groups received higher scores on their ability to present background information and the need for their clinical service and lower scores in areas such as tracking outcomes and predicting challenges. On the post-activity survey, 96.7% of students agreed that the activity gave them a better understanding of pharmacists' roles in establishing new clinical services, and 86.7% stated they intend to actively seek out new clinical pharmacy service opportunities in their future career. Results of the survey demonstrate that students understand the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship in pharmacy practice, and almost all students felt that the activity gave them an even better understanding of the pharmacist's role in clinical service development. This activity can serve as a blueprint for schools of pharmacy looking to incorporate creative and fun methods of exposing PharmD students to innovation and entrepreneurship activities.
开发、实施和评估一项课外活动，让第二年的药学博士（PharmD）学生提出一个新的临床药学服务的想法。基于电视剧的简短课外活动被开发出来，以鼓励创新和创业。第二年的药学学生在指定的团队中工作，允许他们用一个小时的时间开发一个创新的临床服务来解决与药学相关的问题。然后，学生们向一个由四位教员组成的小组“推销”他们的想法，这些教员担任“鲨鱼”，并使用评分表对团队进行评分。采用的评分表与药学教育促进中心（CAPE）的教育成果相匹配。在活动前后向学生进行了调查，以收集有关他们对药学创新和创业观念变化的信息。学生小组在介绍背景信息和他们的临床服务需求方面的得分较高，而在跟踪结果和预测挑战等方面的得分较低。在活动后的调查中，96.7%的学生认为该活动使他们更好地了解药剂师在建立新临床服务方面的作用，86.7%的学生表示他们打算在未来的职业生涯中积极寻找新的临床药学服务机会。调查结果表明，学生们理解创新和创业在药学实践中的重要性，几乎所有学生都认为该活动使他们对药剂师在临床服务发展中的角色有了更好的理解。这项活动可以作为药学学院的蓝图，希望将创新和创业活动引入 PharmD 学生。
